Socialist Hollande oust Nicolas Sarkozy as France gets rid of the
ex-president in France elections as France will battle with austerity
measures led by Germany with a left oriented party.
Paris / NationalTurk - Socialist Party president Francois Hollande
arrived on stage in Paris for his victory speech after the results
of the second round of the French presidential elections on Sunday.
Supporters of Socialist Party presidential candidate Francois Hollande
gathered Sunday outside the party' s headquarters in Paris ahead of
the declaration of the estimated results of the second round of France
Presidential election. Jubilant Hollande supporters celebrated then
outside Socialist Party headquarters and thronged Paris' Bastille
square, where revelers danced the night away in 1981 when Francois
Mitterrand became the only previous directly elected Socialist
president in France. Many waved red flags and some carried roses,
the Socialist party emblem.
France elections : Sarkozy era closed, Hollande era begins in France
with battle against austerity measures
Socialist Francois Hollande swept to victory in France's presidential
election on Sunday in a swing to the left at the heart of Europe and
promised to start a pushback against German-led austerity policies.
Angela Merkel, who had openly favored fellow conservative Sarkozy,
telephoned to congratulate Hollande and invited him to visit Berlin
as soon as possible after his inauguration next week. The vote put an
end to the 'Merkozy' or 'Sarkozyan' duo which had led Europe through
crisis and ushers in a new, untested partnership.
However the rejoicing may be short-lived after a political bombshell in
Greece, where mainstream Greek parties were hammered in a parliamentary
election that seemed set to leave supporters of an IMF/EU bailout
without a majority, raising doubts about the country's future in the
euro zone.
While financial markets are warming to Francois Hollande's growth
agenda, analysts point out Hollande has to to reassure investors
quickly as fears resurface over the euro zone's debt problematics.
In his victory speech, Hollande listed reducing the deficit to
control public debt among his priorities along with 'reorienting
Europe towards employment and growth for the future'.
Hollande led conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy by 51.3% to 48.7%
with 83% of votes counted, the Interior Ministry revealed, bringing
the centre-left back to French government in Paris after a decade
in opposition.
'Europe is watching us,' the president-elect has spoken in a victory
speech in his constituency of Tulle in central France. 'I'm certain
that in many European countries there is relief and hope at the idea
that austerity does not have to be our only fate.'
Hollande, 57, joins a minority of left-wingers in government in Europe
and has vowed to renegotiate a budget discipline treaty signed by 25
EU leaders in March, to add growth measures. Berlin made the pact a
condition of aid for struggling states.
What's the matter Sarkozyan ? It seems the votes from French-Armenians
haven't been enough. French elections 2012
It seems Nicolas Sarkozyan 's abuse of Armenian conscience as a
cat's paw for the upcoming France elections by approving the Armenian
Genocide Bill in the French senate didn't help him either.
Sarkozyan who was seeking re-election in 2012, had tried to use the
law to please to France's nearly 400,000 voters of Armenian origin.
Nicolas Sarkozy was also punished for his failure to rein in 10%
unemployment and for his brash personal style, and in the end Sarkozy
was the 11th Euro zone leader in succession to be swept from power
since the currency bloc's debt crisis started in 2009.
The outgoing president conceded defeat within 20 minutes of polls
closing, telling supporters he had telephoned Hollande to wish him
good luck in such trying times.
'I bear the full responsibility for this defeat,' Sarkozy stated,
showing his intent that he would withdraw from frontline French
politics.
' My place can no longer be the same. My involvement in the life of
my country will be different from now on.'
The only thing that saddens Europe is that it won't see Carla Bruni
as often as it used to.
Francois Hollande who has won French presidential election will be
officially declared as seventh President of the fifth Republic on
May 10. He is expected to take over the office from Nicolas Sarkozy
on May 15 in Elysee Palace.
